The word ‘fashion’ is changing: the way we know fashion today, in terms of runway trends, is expanding. Fashion is now a discipline that deals with physical and virtual bodies. It’s no longer just about tangible clothes, but about experiences: the way our bodies interact with spaces; creating avatars and alternate realities through the screen. Fashion educators in 2021 and beyond will continue to expand these perspectives and dialogues between students and ourselves. We want our students to become not just globally engaged creative thinkers, but also creative makers.
